Protein-Packed Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Tender chickpea pasta and lean chicken breast are baked in a velvety cheddar and Greek yogurt sauce for a creamy, protein-packed comfort meal.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Chickpea elbow pasta
2.5 oz Cooked chicken breast
0.5 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
1 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Onion powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Whole wheat breadcrumbs
0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.
Cook the chickpea pasta in boiling salted water until just al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Fold the cooked pasta and diced chicken breast into the yogurt mixture until every piece is thoroughly and evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese, whole wheat breadcrumbs, and smoked paprika over the top.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and the breadcrumb topping has turned golden brown.
